2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · LT66 UOV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding tyre management. The most recent test in December 2025 at 55,542 miles resulted a pass despite the offside front tyre being worn to the legal limit with uneven inner edge wear. This follows a similar issue seen in December 2023 where all four tyres were flagged for being near the limit. While the vehicle consistently passes without major mechanical failures, the repeated tyre-related advis suggest the owner prioritizes reactive rather than preventative replacement. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with intervals of roughly 5,000 to 9,000 miles recorded between each annual test. For instance, the car covered 9,088 miles between the December 2021 and December 2022 tests. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake fluid moisture if the car has sat stationary for periods between uses. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the recurring inner edge wear on the offside front tyre indicates a potential geometry issue or worn control arm bushes. The low mileage necessitates checking the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as under-used vehicles often suffer from oxidation on the rotors. While the record shows no history of structural corrosion or fluid leaks, a physical check of the undercarriage for perished rubber components is necessary to ensure the age of the vehicle has not compromised the integrity of the suspension despite the low odometer reading.
